Realm of Power

Please enter the text "Are you crazy! How dare you give an order like opening the north gate tonight..."

Hali Ya, commander of the 6th Infantry Regiment of the 3rd Army of Fezer Royal Guards, who was in charge of the north gate of the royal capital, read the order just sent with a look of disbelief. He read the order book three times before finally confirming it. , this outrageous order indeed came from his own superior, Krudia, who has been solely responsible for the defense of the royal capital since Prince Albert left the capital.

"You see clearly, this is an order personally signed by Master Krudia." Several middle-aged nobles with arrogant looks stood opposite him.

"In this matter, it's better to be more cautious." Hali Ya looked embarrassed. He didn't say the permission order, nor did he say no permission. He just brushed the sweat off his forehead with his hand and said, "Open the north door." One night, waiting to put the entire royal capital in danger is not a small matter. Although I don’t know how Lord Krudia thinks about it, there is nothing wrong with being more cautious. Don’t be too hasty, wait for me. I will give you an answer after consulting Master Krudia personally! "

"This bastard is obviously just trying to delay time!" Someone among the nobles cursed in a low voice.

"Hmph! I'm afraid Lord Haliya is not thinking about asking Lord Krudia for confirmation, but he is thinking about reporting this matter to His Highness Prince Albert." One of the middle-aged nobles with flaxen hair and a cold face said, With a cold smile on his lips, he stood up from among the group of people, looked at Hali Ya whose face changed slightly, and said in a deep voice, "If I were Lord Hali Ya, I would not do this." Rudia has already given the order, you just need to follow it. If there is a problem, Kurudia will naturally be responsible. If you report the matter to Prince Albert, the prince will not be able to come back even if he knows. The imperial army When the troops came to the city, His Highness ordered a decisive battle with the empire and evacuated most of the troops in the royal capital. What is the difference between this and abandoning the entire royal capital! "

"Do you think we are willing to leave? We just don't want to leave now. We won't have a chance to leave by then!"

The middle-aged noble paused, with a hint of ferocity in his voice, and continued, "How long can the royal capital hold on under the Empire's Thunder God? I believe Lord Haliya knows better than me. Everyone wants to go out and find a way to survive. What's wrong? Lord Krudia only agreed to let it go because he knew this. Does Lord Haliya want to make an enemy of the entire royal capital?"

"This sir is joking, no matter how brave I am. I have no intention of being an enemy of the entire royal capital!" Harry Ya's body trembled slightly, and he immediately put on a smiling face, sighing secretly, now even the entire royal family is Even King Feize doesn’t think much of Feize anymore.

Seeing these people, he knew that this order was 80% true, because these nobles were all outstanding figures from several wealthy families in the royal capital. They were the nephews of the minister of internal affairs and the nephew of the minister of finance. Now he was speaking. This one. The background is even more frightening. He is the third son of the Minister of the Interior of the Kingdom. Lord Krudia, who used to be the king's favorite, might have been able to withstand such pressure, but now Lord Krudia has lost power. The order is proof of compromise. It is not impossible for Hali Ya to understand the idea of ​​these nobles of the royal capital wanting to leave the royal capital overnight.

The strength of the imperial army is obvious to all. If it is in a dangerous position in the royal capital, it may be able to block the advance of the imperial army. However, for some unknown reason, Prince Albert, who originally advocated defense, suddenly changed his previous strategy and abandoned the more than ten miles of defense area that had been built at a huge cost of manpower and material resources. I don’t know why I got so dizzy that I actually ran to fight with the imperial army. Not to mention that the nobles of the royal capital were not optimistic about it. Even Hali Ya didn’t think there would be a chance of victory. The bones of King Feize’s army under the imperial field cavalry were still cold. , Gan Kefu's 200,000 elite troops were all finished. Prince Albert's hundreds of thousands of makeshift miscellaneous forces are even less likely to be a match for the Imperial Army!

"Assuming you are wise, tonight, the family is hosting a banquet, and Sir Hali Ya is willing to show his respect!"

The middle-aged noble laughed, his eyes full of contempt. The Imperial Guards were indeed just bluffs. Several consecutive battles had made the entire capital see through the nature of this Imperial Guards. They were completely useless. He is unable to fight, and is not even as good as a temporary recruit. From generals to low-level officers, they are all rotten to the core. Who in Feize, who likes martial arts, would look down on such a soldier? The entire royal capital has long since lost the excitement and joy that it felt when hearing the Imperial Guards coming back from the south more than a month ago. On the contrary, in this month, the entire royal capital has replaced this army that has not left the royal capital for a hundred years. The Glory Troops saw it clearly. The greater their expectations, the greater their disappointment. Even Lauryn II gave up hope on the Praetorian Guards!

"Then why am I so embarrassed? I just hope that you all can be faster by then."

Harry smiled helplessly and said that he would go to the banquet. As a vassal nobleman of the royal family, he started from a low-level officer and worked tirelessly to serve the superior officials. He did not know how much property he stuffed into the important officials of the royal family. You have reached the threshold of being a general. In the past, you have been able to pass it by. Why is it that today you are like a man possessed and almost got into trouble with these nobles of the royal capital? The situation is already like this, why are you still holding on here! Isn't it just a matter of leaving the north door open for one night? If you can't cope with it in your heart, then you can grab a few subordinates and drink wine all night long. Out of sight, out of mind, let these people who should leave be packed up and bastards, and you will end up with a clean eye. As for Prince Albert's subsequent investigation, he must first win this impossible victory, if he loses. The imperial army has invaded the royal capital, and any investigation is meaningless!

Winter, night of January 16th

On a mound outside the north gate of Feize King's capital, large snowflakes fell, and the sky was white. No one noticed that a small black dot appeared on the mound. It was a scout cavalry with a stern face, wearing dark blue clothes. Wearing colored armor, he immediately stood up in the snow and looked at the bright lights at the north gate of Feize with his sharp eyes like swords. After noticing that there were no guards, The signal that everything was safe was sent out. Half an hour later, there was a rumble of the earth in the distance, and in the white snow mist in the distance, groups of infantry formations holding legion flags began to appear. The flags at the front of these infantry formations They are not uniform. Some are deer antlers, some are crosses, and some are red scorpions. There are so many that they quickly cover the location of the mound.

"Sir, from the direction of the north gate, there is a signal that everything is going well." A noble attendant wearing a yellow cross robe reined in his horse and turned around, reporting to Duke Geng Di, who was wearing full armor.

Tens of thousands of Feize noble troops finally appeared outside the north gate of the royal capital.

Duke Geng Di looked at the outline of the city in the wind and snow ahead. On the wall of the north gate, six piles of fires lined up are very conspicuous, and you can see the position of the north gate. There was no defender, but there were a few people waiting for this at the north gate. Behind him, the light cavalry of the Geng Di family were stopping the hooves of horses coming from the wind and snow. These scout cavalry were wearing light mail armor. Wearing the spear-topped helmet of the Hokuriku knights, carrying a one-meter-long battle bow on their backs, cold eyes were projected from the metal surface. If there was a change in the north gate, these light cavalry would be thrown in as the first impact echelon. But now it seems that the allies in the royal capital have not let me down.

The Hokuriku nobles and the Royal Capital nobles have a history of intermingling for nearly a hundred years, and many families are related by blood. I originally thought that these wealthy families in the royal capital for generations would be more reserved, but I didn't expect that I just sent someone to contact them and got the support of most of the nobles. To put it bluntly, it was forced by the situation.

The elite imperial cavalry that destroyed Gan Kefu's 200,000 royal troops in one fell swoop was now less than thirty miles away from the royal capital, and could approach the city at any time, in the royal capital. Doomed to fall, since the royal capital can no longer stay, these nobles naturally want to find a new way out, and Hokuriku is undoubtedly their first choice. Although the environment is a bit more difficult, as long as the family business can be preserved, who can care about it!

"Send a reply signal"

Duke Geng Di raised his hand, with a complex expression on his face, and the hand holding the riding whip trembled slightly.

Ten years ago, he participated in the celebration of the royal capital as the biggest contributor to supporting the new king. It was also snowing like this, and the king personally greeted him at the north gate. What a scene. He was still middle-aged and high-spirited at the time. In return for his support, Laurian, who had just ascended the throne, personally ordered to give the nobles of the North Continent what they wanted. The immunity of the royal power for more than a hundred years means that as long as it is not rebellion, the royal family will not hold the Hokuriku nobles responsible for their crimes. In fact, it is equivalent to admitting that Hokuriku is It is a fact that China is a country, and such an honor is only available to the military nobles who worked hard to conquer the west coast of the kingdom sixty years ago. It is also because of the existence of this immunity that the Hokuriku nobles truly stand side by side with the military and the royal family. One of the three major Feize groups, Duke Geng Di at that time would not have thought that it would only be ten years before he returned to the royal capital, and he would actually bring the Northern Continent army with him! It is said that the Hokuriku nobles were bewitched by the military, and because they were heartbroken that their son was seriously injured, they embarked on the road of fighting against the royal family. In fact, how many people know the real situation! After the royal family eradicates the military, it will never tolerate Hokuriku and continue to maintain its status as a country.

The choice before him was that he had no choice at all, either to form an alliance with the military to overthrow the royal family, or to wait for the royal family to destroy the military and then swallow Hokuriku in one gulp!

"Bang" a burning rocket rose into the sky, like a meteor, quickly lighting up the wilderness below, and at the same time revealing the densely packed aristocratic army, the upward-erected spears seemed to be erected in the wind and snow. The entire forest shone like stars in the night sky in the wind and snow. Military flags of various colors covered the entire wilderness. Thousands of soldiers crowded together like a colony of ants. "Come on, come on."

Several nobles waiting at the north gate suddenly showed uncontrollable joy. Originally, they were a little worried about what to do if the noble army did not come, or what if they did not bring enough troops to protect them. They had been waiting since the war broke out. In the royal capital, I only knew that the noble army seemed to have been suppressed miserably some time ago, but I did not expect to see so many armies in the blink of an eye. With such strong military protection, there was nothing to worry about even if they encountered the imperial army.

Soon, a group of light cavalry galloped from the direction of the noble army on the opposite side and stopped beside these nobles. The leader was a Hokuriku knight with a scar on his face. He grinned slightly and showed a white smile. He glanced at several royal nobles and asked, "Which one is from the Anyu family?"

"I am Anyibotov from the Anyi family." The middle-aged nobleman who had been negotiating with Haliya during the day stood up. The torch at the city gate shone on his face, making it look red.

"Are the other families ready?" The scarred-faced Hokuriku knight's eyes flashed with a hint of chill. According to the agreement, tonight the nobles of the royal capital will open the north gate, and the noble army will be responsible for welcoming the nobles of the royal capital. Let's go north,

"Of course, 279 of the 341 families in the royal capital are willing to leave. They are behind the north gate. Everyone is waiting for you." The middle-aged noble pointed his finger north with excitement. The north gate is now only ajar, and countless carriages can be faintly seen, as well as some figures looking over here.

"Then hurry up. It's at least a thousand miles to Hokuriku." The scar-faced Hokuriku knight nodded and waved to the cavalry behind him. More than a dozen light cavalry jumped off their horses and worked together to kill the cavalry in front of them. The north door slowly opened,

"Out of the city, hurry up!" "Out of the city" voices kept coming and going. I saw countless carriages filled with goods and people, and it was a chaotic scene.

"No crowding, no chaos, everyone can leave."

Seeing the north gate open in front, they immediately rushed to the city gate. Naturally, the carriages and horses of the wealthy families were in front. Not only the carriages, but also a large number of walking servants wearing armor, struggling to move forward among the crowd. On both sides of the carriage They were family knights and strong servants wearing armor, shouting desperately, and even hitting them on the head and face with the stick in their hands. These are the vassals of the great nobles, and there are relatively few carriages. There are no servants, so I can only drive the horses by myself and move with the crowd with difficulty. I don’t know how many people there are. After walking for more than an hour, the door position is still there. Continuously surging outward, the caravan in front has been dragged out for a full ten miles, with hesitant expressions. No one knows what will happen in the future.

"Why are these bastards from the capital bringing so many people with them? Didn't we agree not to bring any servants, not even those worthless?" A sturdy Hokuriku nobleman looked red in the wind and snow. Looking at the rolling traffic that has been dragged out from the royal capital, he cursed angrily

"Jualens, why do you care about these people? Do you really think that they can all make it to Hokuriku alive?" Next to the Hokuriku noble, a young man with a cold face grinned, "Hokuriku is like that." It’s a big country, and every family has its own territory. It’s not easy to support yourself. How can there be so much space for people like them? These royal capital nobles thought that Hokuriku would accept them, but they didn't know that once they left the royal capital, they would become nothing. In the final analysis, these property, slaves, and women are not ours to take and use whenever we want. Used! In addition to those related to various families, weren’t the other vassals given to us in vain?”

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that? The big ones can't move, and the small ones can do whatever they want!" The sturdy Hokuriku noble laughed loudly, and looked at these convoys with completely confused eyes. It’s different. Hokuriku has been poor for nearly a hundred years, and this time it can be considered a profit! More than two hours later, the convoy at the north gate finally disappeared. Duke Geng Di's slightly squinted eyes suddenly opened. The noble troops around him also began to stir up. The royal capital was right in front of them. Who could hold it back! "Come in, the king is ours." Someone shouted loudly, and the crowd poured down. Countless noble soldiers rushed into the north gate of King Feize's capital (to be continued.)
